    And Lucille Ball of course! That picture came from Darby Hinton's personal collection and was taken just before his fame in the mid to late 1960's as Israel Boone. The original picture had some major damage so I had some repair work done on it. I wanted to show it off I guess. This is the...

    Can anyone name the actress and child actor in this picture taken in the early 1960's in Hawaii?

    MightyMouseDex - Drumming Prodigy

    As a result of watching videos by drumming prodigy Avery Molek, I ran across another young drumming talent in the "recommended videos" that impressed me. He is a 9 year old Filipino-American named Dexter. He's a pretty cool kid with some raw talent. Check him out! Here are a couple of his...

    The Doors / Donner Pass

    This is a pretty cool video that was shot in the general area where the Donner Party became stranded back in 1846, and shows the weather conditions they had to endure. Even in modern times people become stranded in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The video is hauntingly set to music from The...

    Greg Lake of Emerson, Lake & Palmer Dies

    Unbelievable. I was a big ELP fan back in the 1970's. The first two rock concerts I ever went to were both ELP on their final tour before the group broke up in 1979. Greg Lake was probably my favorite vocalist of all time. The news came as a shock, but I guess not a complete shock. He really...

    Cool new video posted August 7, 2016... Footloose kC4mZc4OaBs Edit to add... Here is a new video from Avery's friend/rival Alex Schumaker who is also from Pennsylvania, close to Avery, and is a drumming prodigy around the same age. They are friends, but I notice when one posts a new...

    Avery was only 6 when this thread began back in 2013, and I guess I've become a fan of his, so I'll try to do an update on him from time to time so we can see his progress. This one is from May of 2016, a song we all know I'm sure... PjOMTR3Be1A He's only 9. Lots of updates to come I hope...

    Maybe the coolest childhood pic ever taken. The Doors were being photographed back in December of 1969 in Venice, California for publicity during the Morrison Hotel period when a cool little kid named Bobo Moore rode into the scene with a no handlebars tricycle he found in the alley nearby where...

    Keith Emerson is dead

    According to Greg Lake, Keith Emerson had been struggling with depression since the late 1970's, something that is a surprise to me. Keith always seemed so confident on stage, almost arrogant at times. Of course it's the younger Keith Emerson that I remember the most. It's a week later and...

    Keith Emerson is dead

    It appears that it was depression due to medical problems that affected his ability to perform that drove him to this. Very sad and tragic. I was a huge ELP fan back in the 1970's. The first two rock concerts I went to were ELP back in 1978 in Springfield, MA. I posted these old snapshots in a...

    Keith Emerson is dead

    There are rumors that this was a suicide by gunshot. Of course it's too soon to know. But if it's true I think it was because Keith knew he had some kind of cancer that doctors told him was terminal and he decided to end it quickly, rather than endure a painful and prolonged death. He had a very...
